Taking Risks with Cat Cora

What a week for The Bellas! Nikki’s new show, AGT: Extreme, premiered on NBC, and Brie’s show, The Real Dirty Dancing, wrapped up on Fox. One of Brie’s new friends from the cast of The Real Dirty Dancing is the week’s special guest!

Opening Up, Nikki & Brie start the show off by getting into expanded vocabularies, why being edgy can lead to trouble, and what happens when you’re not in the mood yet…

Then Cat Cora sits down with Nikki & Brie for a fantastic conversation about smashing glass ceilings, taking chances, mom guilt, Cat’s professional achievements, what motivated her when she was told no early in her career, building an empire, helping others, being mentored by Julia Child, becoming the first female Iron Chef, and her sons’ reactions to her big win on The Real Dirty Dancing.

Then Nikki, Brie, and Cat play “Fill in the Rank,” with some interesting takes on Sex and the City, The Beatles, parenting routines, and we learn that someone on this episode is a godmother of a cruise ship.

The episode closes out with a great Inspiration & Aspiration; Cat’s selection means so much it’s also tattooed on her body.

"Defining Extreme" with Travis Pastrana Feb 16, 2022

Show notes

This week’s episode of the Bellas Podcast is EXTREME!

Nikki & Brie take the podcast into overtime with their recap of a huge weekend in LA that involved a lot of parties, a lot of tequila, a lot of famous friends, and a football game. Then Bellas bring on Travis Pastrana, who sits at the AGT: Extreme judge’s table with Nikki.

Nikki & Brie jetted down to Los Angeles for a monumental Sister Super Bowl Weekend that included Megan Thee Stallion, a number of outfit changes, day drinking, camera time, questionable choices at the bar, and a lot of camera time.

The Bellas were also in attendance at Super Bowl LVI and share their experiences seeing Billie Jean King and The Rock, the mind-blowing halftime show, and an incident involving one of the Bellas that involved a woman hitting the ground…hard.

Then Travis Pastrana connects with Nikki and Brie to get us ready for AGT: Extreme! A few weeks ago, Travis had a base jumping stunt go wrong, and he gives an update on how he’s doing now and if he’d ever try it again. Travis is a legend in the world of Action Sports and talks about what made his run of successful X-Games appearances so much fun, taking extreme sports into the mainstream, and why he started Nitro Circus, his life as a cheer dad, if he’d encourage his daughters to live life as dangerously as he has, and how much fun he had working with Nikki.

Nikki & Brie play a new Bellas Podcast game, “Record Collector,” with Travis, who holds 11 X-Games Gold Medals and holds 11 entries in the Guinness Book of World Records. Travis also has an incredible response for this week’s Inspiration & Affirmation that applies to his life as a parent and an extreme athlete. Travis also has a new sponsor, Black Rifle Coffee, and he explains why he’s excited for that partnership and what they can accomplish together.

“You Just Gotta Move Those Hips” with Antonio Gates Feb 09, 2022

Show notes

Another week, another dynamite episode of The Bellas Podcast!

This week Nikki & Brie are joined by Chargers legend Antonio Gates, who also happens to be Brie’s dancing partner on “The Real Dirty Dancing.”

First, Nikki & Brie open up with a review of their hectic week of family, fun, and vineyards. The Bellas had their brother JJ in town and went on a tasting tour of Napa with some great stops along the way and some new friendships.

Then in a shocking development, Sister Sunday was almost canceled, but it was saved at the last minute when one of The Bellas committed to the tradition and made the decision to call a babysitter so the ritual could continue.

Then Nikki & Brie introduce us to an exciting new game, “Buzzin’ with the Bellas!” A drinking game with astonishing results for the audience. The Bellas face-off as they give illuminating answers to absurd questions and knock back a few glasses of wine.

Antonio Gates was named to 8 Pro-Bowls and 5 All-Pro teams during his 16-year NFL career on the San Diego/Los Angeles Chargers, and you’ll know instantly what made him a great teammate on the field when he talks to Nikki & Brie about his approach to building an incredible career on the field and in the locker room.

He breaks down his method to getting the most out of Brie as a dance partner on “The Real Dirty Dancing,” if he’d ever consider being an NFL coach, how he used the competition to learn to be a better dancer, experiencing breakthroughs, and his Super Bowl prediction.

Watch Brie and Antonio on “The Real Dirty Dancing” Tuesday nights on Fox 9/8c.

“It Was Awkward, Fun, and Crazy” with Anjelah Johnson Feb 02, 2022

Show notes

Straight up, this is a Hall of Fame episode! The Bellas bring their Royal Rumble recap together with the hilarious Anjelah Johnson-Reyes for an epic episode of the podcast.

Nikki & Brie kick off the episode giving exclusive behind-the-scenes details from the 2022 WWE Royal Rumble, details on their experiences returning to the ring and facing off against some familiar foes and a few new friends. It was a wild time in St. Louis with a great crowd reaction and an unexpected Bella betrayal that just might have evened the score (Probably not, though).

The Bellas also talk about working with Bianca Belair, Ronda Rousey, Lita, Charlotte Flair, Carmella, Zelina, and what an incredible inspiration Nikki A.S.H. is for the young fans of the WWE.

Brie also reveals a special moment she shared with Birdie after the Rumble and the surprising reaction she had after watching her mom and her aunt kick butt in a 30-woman free-for-all. Nikki also had some sweet support from Artem and Matteo that made her emotional.

This week’s special guest on the podcast is comedian and actress Anjelah Johnson-Reyes, who’s also on the cast of “The Real Dirty Dancing” on Fox with Brie.

Nikki & Brie have been fans of Anjelah for a long time, and now all of their paths cross on this episode of the podcast. Anjelah talks about her unique path to success on stage and in front of the camera, pushing herself to try something new with “The New Dirty Dancing,” how becoming an NFL cheerleader changed her life and set her on the road to stardom.

Anjelah also tells The Bellas about cyberstalking her husband two years before they went on their first date and how she knew their relationship was meant to be, how he inspired her character of Bon Qui Qui, a possible collaboration with Nikki Fresh, and Anjelah’s special way to work through disagreements with her husband that involves a Bruno Mars song.

Watch Anjelah and Brie compete on “The Real Dirty Dancing” Tuesday nights at 9/8c on Fox.

The Icon Herself: Trish Stratus Jan 26, 2022

Show notes

The Icon herself, Trish Stratus, joins Nikki & Brie to talk about her WWE legacy and some exciting news!

First, Nikki & Brie open things up with a double shot of terrific news; Nikki & Brie's new TV shows were announced.

Nobody puts Brie in a corner, but they do put her on a nationally televised show! Brie gave us some insight into filming "The Real Dirty Dancing," a new reality dance competition on Fox! Tune in Tuesday, Feb. 1 on FOX to see Brie have the time of her life!

Nikki continues to dominate the airwaves when she pulls up a chair at the judge's table later this year on "AGT: Extreme!" She'll have the power to hit the Golden Buzzer for some of the most amazing and incredible performers that are too intense for any other television show. "AGT: Extreme" premieres Monday, Feb. 21!

Then The Bellas welcome this week's guest, the badass trailblazer herself, Trish Stratus!

Trish gives her thought on this weekend's Royal Rumble, telling us who she's keeping an eye on, with inside information on one specific competitor. And when asked if we might see her in the ring with Nikki & Brie this weekend, she gave a VERY interesting answer.

Trish is also a judge on the upcoming season of "Canada's Got Talent," so she and Nikki have had some very similar experiences sitting at the judges' table.

Nikki & Brie also get some mom advice from Trish, mother of two, after some remote learning adventures, unicorn birthday parties, and her philosophy to keeping things simple for the kids. There's also a surprise appearance by Trish's kids, Madi and Max!

There's always time for games on The Bellas Podcast, too! But two games? That's what happens when you have two hosts! First up, it's Where In The World Was Trish Stratus! Nikki & Brie ask Trish about some of her amazing adventures across the world and what she remembers from her tremendous WWE career. Then to change things up, we get some sound advice from Trish when The Bellas play Social Stratus with Trish and help guide some listeners through some awkward times with a little Hall of Fame advice.

Then Trish shares some of the wisdom that guided her to seven WWE Women's Championships and the status of Icon when she shares her Inspiration & Affirmation.

Follow Trish on Instagram and check her out on "Canada's Got Talent!"

“I Don’t Mind Being A Trendsetter” with Lindsey Vonn Jan 12, 2022

Show notes

There’ no time to pop bottles, because BIG things are happening! First Nikki & Brie give exclusive details on the return to the WWE and then they sit down for an amazing conversation with Olympic Gold Medal skier Lindsey Vonn!

It’s been a while since Nikki & Brie have been in the ring together and on today’s episode of The Bellas Podcast, they talk about their road back, why they’re excited to return to the WWE, who they’re most excited to see at the 2022 Women’s Royal Rumble, and some possible strategies for the big event.

Nikki elaborates on the process to get cleared for a comeback and Brie is excited to share her fitness journey to getting ring-ready for the big event. Also…there might be some bad blood from their last Royal Rumble. So it’s not just Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch that need to be on high alert in St. Louis because there could be a few grudges that get settled by the Bella Twins.

Then Nikki & Brie welcome a woman that they have tremendous respect for, Lindsey Vonn. Brie starts out by telling Lindsey why her member, “Rise: My Story,” was so inspiring to her and Nikki follows that up by talking about shared influences, breaking barriers, being bold in a world that wanted to tame her, and her openness about mental health.

They also talk to Lindsey about connecting with her feminine side while still crushing the competition, how close she came to quitting, the highs and lows of competing at such a high level, and finding purpose after retiring from competitive skiing.

Then Nikki & Brie cross the finish line Lindsey when she shares her Inspiration & Affirmation, the words that mean the most to her going into 2022 and a new chapter of her life.

Follow Lindsey on Instagram and order her new book, “Rise: My Story.”

"The Strongest Motivation Is Love" w/ Aubrey Marcus Jan 05, 2022

Show notes

“The Strongest Motivation Is Love” with Aubrey Marcus

Nikki & Brie are VERY excited about today’s guest, but first, they get us caught up on how they spent New Year’s Eve, a tale of two very different celebrations! Brie had an early night, and Nikki tried to squeeze in as much family time with Artem before leaving for the DWTS tour.

Then The Bellas welcome the incredible Aubrey Marcus!

Brie credits Aubrey for sparking an exhilarating change in Bryan, and that change has set off a chain reaction in the Bellas world.

As we enter 2022, focus on new goals, and fine-tune our motivation, Nikki & Brie have an electrifying conversation with Aubrey about routines, why starting off your day with coffee is a bad idea, and the right way to jump start your mornings. They also discussed the benefits of being flexible with your day-to-day life, breath work, our different personalities, relinquishing control, staying motivated, self-love, the positives and negatives of social media, mental health, and more.

Aubrey also explains the transformative experience of being a parent, and the strongest motivation is love.

Nikki & Brie also talk to Marcus about his documentary, “Awake in The Darkness,” in which he spent seven days in silence and darkness as the pandemic started, what that experience did to his senses and how it changed his perspective about himself and the ability to love himself.

2022: Hope Is Ahead! Dec 29, 2021

Show notes

Write Up:

It’s the last episode of The Bellas Podcast for 2021! Nikki & Brie pop a bottle of Rosé and filled us in on EVERYTHING that happened on Christmas morning, and not everything went as planned. They reveal that some presents for Bryan, Birdie, Buddy, Artem, and Matteo were big hits, but some of the gifts didn’t quite get the reception The Bellas were hoping for.

Then Nikki & Brie take a look back at their 2021 and run down the highs and lows of the past 12 months, including moments they’d want to re-live, underrated moments, and the biggest boss moves of 2021.

Then Brie breaks out her crystal ball and taps into her intuition to tell us what 2022 has in store with her Briedictions! Nikki doesn’t quite agree with all of Brie’s premonitions about Sister Sundays, Celebrity Hookups, NFT’s, TV Show Revivals, Space Exploration, and the Environment, and she shares a few of her hunches about the next year, too.

The Bellas also set things up for a great 2022 by laying out everything they want to manifest in 2022. From family, self-care, business, education, the podcast, and ways to connect with others in the new year, Nikki & Brie put it all out there so they can hold themselves accountable when we look back at all of our achievements next year!

Nikki’s numerology research has her very excited for 2022 because hope is ahead! And Nikki & Brie share the inspiration that they’re going to guide them to their strongest selves walking into 2022 as warriors after a tough 2020 & 2021. Then the ladies wrap it up with a special champagne toast and a little singing.

This might be the last Bellas Podcast episode of 2021, but you can still join Nikki & Brie every Friday at 9am PT/12pm EST on The Bellas Podcast Instagram Live to ask questions about this week’s episode and find out about upcoming guests and segments!

The Bellas Family Holiday Spectacular featuring Bryan Danielson & Artem Chigvintsev Dec 22, 2021

Show notes

It is the most wonderful time of year!

This holiday season is all about family for Nikki & Brie this Christmas!

While getting us caught up on their flurry of wonderful winter activities, The Bellas explain that someone in the family had quite the reaction when they visited a virtual reality arcade and Matteo had a fabulous time seeing trains up close, although Nikki had a crucial decision to make that resulted in a revealing moment…. the airport and Brie wasn’t on board with it.

The twins also reflect on what the reason for the season means to them, how it’s impacting their family and the gift of being in the present moment. Nikki & Brie also go into detail about their perfect Christmas gift. Guess which one wants diamonds!

There’s also a growing argument between Nikki & Brie, and it involves meatballs and sauce. Will Brie let Artem make their grandma’s famous spaghetti sauce? Nikki is interested in starting a new holiday tradition, but is she really committed? Only if it involves mimosas on Christmas morning.

Brie’s husband, Bryan Danielson, checks in from Daddy-Daughter night to talk about

family traditions, what Christmas means to his family growing up, and then Nikki & Brie turn the tables on him when they play a festive holiday game, Quizmas, and ask him some holiday-themed questions!

Then Artem takes a break from rehearsals for “Dancing with the Stars: Live! – 2022 Tour” to tell Nikki & Brie about Christmas in Russia and figure out once and for all who’s making the sauce for Christmas dinner! Nikki & Brie also put Artem on the spot when they play The Perfect Gift, with some unexpected answers from Brie especially.

Then to close out the episode, Nikki & Brie reflect on the season with some words from Dr. Seuss for Affirmation & Inspiration.

Join Nikki & Brie every Friday on The Bellas Podcast Instagram Live as they answer your questions about the episode and much more.

“I Almost Got Bladed In The Face” with Nikki & Brie Dec 15, 2021

Show notes

Things in Bellaville are very exciting! Nikki and Brie are in full holiday prep mode, and they’re not just surviving; they’re thriving.

Nikki wonders why Brie hasn’t been forthcoming with some amazing teething hacks for Matteo and learns a few new tricks that Brie used with Birdie.

 Then Brie has an issue with the way Nikki dresses Matteo when they go out to play, but it’s worked for them so far, so don’t expect any changes soon.

Then Brie dramatically recounts a traumatic experience at an ice-skating rink with Birdie involving a Zamboni ice resurfacing machine, an out-of-control ice skate, and a glass of champagne that almost left her with a permanent scar.

Also, Brie ran into a few problems when trying to cross things off her list, which resulted in a drenched Bryan Danielson.

Nikki’s Christmas shopping experiences with Matteo haven’t gone flawlessly either. An exploding squeaky pack of baby food and an unexpectedly flashing everyone in the checkout line and making this holiday season one to remember.

Brie and Nicole also give us the inside details of their attention-grabbing photoshoot and article for LaPalme Magazine. What significant changes could that one photoshoot mean for Brie in 2022? And what does Nikki think about Brie’s current viewpoint?

Then we gather around the fire to play a fantastic new holiday game on The Bellas Podcast, Nikki & Brie’s Naughty or Nice List! We’ll give them names, places, and things ripped from the headlines, and The Bellas will tell us whether they’ll end up on the Nice List or Naughty List!

Then a special appearance by Birdie Danielson, who runs down her own Bellas Naughty and Nice List for Nikki & Brie, some very bad news for one person in the family who ended up on the Naughty List. Then Birdie spreads some holiday cheer when she sings a special song. It’s like your own special Christmas concert!

We close things out with a special Inspiration & Affirmation from Nikki & Brie, telling us what words meaningful words they’ve been leaning on to get through this hectic holiday season!

Join us every Friday for a special Bellas Podcast IG Live where Nikki & Brie answer YOUR questions!
